To provide an exceptional education for every student, every day; driven by love, service, humility and our Catholic faith. ### How do we behave? - **Love** - “Love one another as I have loved you.” *John 13:34* - **Service** - We serve the needs of others, and we respect everyone - seeking to understand rather than be understood. *St Francis of Assisi* - **Humility** - We aim to be the best, but we know that to do so we must put ourselves last - “Think first the foundation of humility. The higher the structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.” *St Austine* - **Faith** - God has given us faith, and we have courage to use it - “Have courage! Get up; he is calling you.” *Mark 10:49* ### What do we do? We lead a family of Catholic schools from across South London where everyone is known, loved, and adds value to our community. We believe in autonomy with coherence - we have a duty to share and implement best practice across our schools but also encourage the development of next practice to drive continual improvement. ### How will we succeed? A little bit better tomorrow than we were today through excellence in faith, service, personal development and academic progress. #### This means: - **Faith:** We take time every day for service, reflection, and prayer. - **Service:** We serve our communities - with preferential treatment - for those who are poor in spirit or circumstance. - **Personal Development:** Every member of trust works hard to develop their talents each week. - **Academic Progress:** We provide an excellent education for every student, every day. ![Sancta Familia Catholic Academy Trust](https://files.schudio.com/sancta-familia-4/images/logo/logo-sancta-familia-white.png) ### Sancta Familia Catholic Academy Trust Commonside East Mitcham CR4 1YG ### Useful Links - [Vision & Values](https://sanctafamilia.co.uk/vision-values) - [Our Academies](https://sanctafamilia.co.uk/academies) - [Autonomy with Coherence](https://sanctafamilia.co.uk/autonomy-with-coherence) - [Sancta Snacks](https://sanctafamilia.co.uk/sancta-snacks) ### Social Media - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/sancta-familia-catholic-academy-trust/) ### Translation © Copyright 2025–2026 Sancta Familia Catholic Academy Trust School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://sanctafamilia.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
